Judging from his season-high 38-point performance off the bench Saturday in his first time back from a 14-game injury absence, Glenn Robinson appeared more than ready to resume his familiar role tonight as the Milwaukee Bucks' starting small forward.
That, however, was before Robinson rolled his right ankle Monday during practice.
Though the Bucks do not think Robinson's latest injury is anything more than a minor inconvenience, he nevertheless will not be able to start against the Boston Celtics.
Tim Thomas, who started every game for Robinson while he recovered from a thigh bruise, will start again despite bruising his right knee Saturday in the 129-127 double-overtime loss to New York. Thomas made it through the entire practice Monday and was deemed ready to play by coach George Karl.
